For the longest time I have wanted my nipples pierced, and last month I finally did it. It was the most intense experience of my life! Yeah it hurt and all---but in a totally good way.
At A Glance Author blondeee23 Artist James Studio Rose tattoos Location Bismark Me and a friend of mine went to the piercing place on a cold and rainy wednesday afternoon, and my stomach was jumping. As if the weather wasn't unsettling enough, I kept on thinking in the back of my mind, "What am I doing?!" I also wondered if the guy was going to mess up, if it would get totally infected and gross, and if I was going to be able to breast-feed when Im older. Aside from all this I still went in with the encouragement of my friend. I felt a little wierd when I told the girl behind the counter that I wanted to get my nipples done, and I rememeber the disgusted stare from a 15 year old girl there with her mom to get her navel pierced. I know thats why she was there because she was picking out the perfect charm to go on her soon to be hoop. She picked a butterfly. How cute.
Anyway the girl behind the counter told me to have a seat while I filled out the required forms, just random questions like "Are you algeric to anything? Do you have AIDS? Are you pregnant?" The pregnancy question got me thinking about the breast feeding issue, which made me even more apprehensive. Before I could change my mind, my name was called and I followed a man into a room. He asked my to have a seat and just get comfortable. In my mind I was thinking, "Yeah right" but I tried to relax anyway.
It was a small room with posters of bands, and pictures of tattoos and piercings. There was also a sign that said "tips are welcome" which I thought was kinda funny. I guess I never thought of tipping my piercer. Anyway, he politely asked me to remove my shirt and bra while he got things set up. He then rubbed a really cold liquid that appeared to be alcohol around my whole nipple and some of my breast. He quickly grabbed a needle and clamp while my nipple was still hard.
I remember there was Nsync playing in the backround at the piercing place, and as much as I hate to admit it, I sang along to get my mind off of what was going on, which to be honest is pretty much impossible.
I also remember him saying, "One one-thousand, Two one-thousand, THREE!!!" All I could do was hold my breath and squeeze my eyes shut even though I was advised not to but I couldnt help it. It was like this wierd burning tingling sensation, which wasnt as bad as I had thought it would be, in fact, I kind of like it. But then it was time for the second one. Again, I remember him saying,"One one-thousdand, Two one-thousand, THREE!!!" The second time I let out a really loud "YEEEOOOW!" It hurt way more then the first, Im still not sure why, maybe because I had anticipated a huge pain the first time, and it wasnt so bad, but the second time I was thinking, "Hell, this is easy." Man, was I wrong. It was such a shock I thought I was going to pass out. The guy must have noticed me turn a little white, so he just told me to lay down and relax while he out a fan on me.
Once I left my tits were really sore, and I had to sleep on my back. Every once in a while I would unconsciously turn on my side, but then I would be rudely awakend by an extreme pain. They only hurt for a few days, but then after I wouldnt even notice them unless they got bumped or something. I would get some crusties every once in a while and I had to clean them with disinfectant for the first week, but then I switched to sea salts. It took about a month to fully heal, and I still have yet to change the rings if I want. I'm thinking of switching to a barbell instead, but then I would have to go in again and have them tapped to be bigger.
Not a lot of people know about my piercing, except my boyfriend a few friends. Now a lot of my friends are going to get their nipples done, and are always asking me about the procedure. I always just say that it kinda hurt but still felt totally cool. I aslo tell them that its totally worth it, they look so cool and are a lot of fun.
My boyfriend always told me that I have perfect tits--and now that I have them pierced he cant get enough of em, -- and frankly, neither can I.
